What is this world coming to? <br />It's worse than all my fears <br />The destruction of our forefathers' <br />blood, sweat and tears. <br />Endless wars shouldn't be a <br />billion dollar industry <br />Arm the enemies then kill them <br />doesn't free a country <br />Hate crimes in OUR time? ? <br />Ignorance is bliss <br />Poverty and the filthy rich <br />Something's definitely amiss <br /> <br />Think of what we leave our <br />children as our legacy... <br />lest they're bound to follow our <br />unabashed complacency <br />Their future's so uncertain <br />who knows what fate they'll fall, <br />but it is certain our inaction will <br />be the undoing of us all <br />So get up, stand up, stop acting <br />like a bunch of deaf/mute mimes, <br />and identify this for what it is- <br />The crisis of our times.<br /><br />Lee Degnan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/blood-sweat-and-tears-2/
